This Fund is not for general circulation to the public in Kuwait. The Fund has not been licensed for offering in Kuwait by the Kuwait Capital Markets Authority or any other

Additional information
The investment programmes of the Funds are speculative and will entail substantial risks. Interests may be subject to sudden and large falls in price or value and there
could be a large loss on realisation which could equal the amount invested. As there is no recognised market for the interests, it may be difficult for an investor to see
or realise the interests or to obtain reliable information about their value or the extent of the risks to which they are exposed. Changes in interest rates or exchange
rates may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of the interests. References to future returns are not promises or even estimates of actual returns an
investor may achieve. Any forecasts and other material contained herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be relied upon as advice or interpreted as a 5
recommendation. BHAM and its affiliates give no representations, warranties or undertakings that any indicative performance or return will be achieved in the future
or that the investment objectives and policies from time to time of the Funds will be met. Past performance is no guarantee and is not indicative of future results.
The information herein reflects prevailing conditions and BHAM’s judgements as at this date, all of which are subject to change. The portfolio characteristics and risk
controls set forth are not static and may change over time. BHAM does not represent that the statistics, investment guidelines, capital allocation and limits disclosed
herein will remain constant over time. The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but should not be confused with and does
not imply low risk.
Brevan Howard understands the importance of maintaining market integrity and confidence in financial markets and has outlined its commitment and approach to the
prevention of market abuse in the Brevan Howard Compliance Manual.
Brevan Howard has established a risk management framework which is intended to identify, measure, monitor, report, and where appropriate, mitigate key risks
identified by the Funds’ investment managers. Amongst other things, the risk management framework addresses portfolio risks (such as market, credit, liquidity,
counterparty and funding risks), operational risks and outsourcing risks.
Portfolio risks which are monitored by the risk management team include, as at the date hereof, analysis of sensitivity measures, gross and net exposures, value at
risk, leverage, stress tests and scenario analyses, with a view to identifying and mitigating the potential impact of extreme market movements. These analyses may be
changed from time to time. Brevan Howard believes its risk management framework to be appropriate but gives no warranty as to the adequacy or sufficiency of this
framework, or that it is exhaustive or able to address the entire universe of possible risks to which an investment manager or the Funds may be subject.

Risk Factors
Acquiring an investment in a Fund or any of the other products or services described herein may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all or a substantial
amount of the amount invested. Any person who is in any doubt about investing in a Fund or any of the other products or services described herein should consult
an authorised person specialising in advising on such investments, products or services. Any person making an investment in a Fund must be able to bear the risks
involved, which include, besides such other risks as may be described in any prospectus or offering memorandum for the relevant Fund, the following:
• The Funds are speculative and involve substantial risk and may have limited, or no, operating history.
• The Funds will be leveraged and will engage in speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss.
• The Funds will invest in illiquid and volatile securities.
• Investments in the Funds are subject to restrictions on transfer, withdrawal and redemption and should be considered illiquid.
• As there is no recognised market for interests in the Funds (and no secondary markets are expected to develop), it may be difficult for an investor to realise its
investment or to obtain reliable information about its value or the extent of the risks to which an investor is exposed through its investment.
• Past results of the Funds’ investment managers are not necessarily indicative of future performance of the Funds, and the Funds’ performance maybe volatile.
• While the Funds are subject to market risks common to other types of investments, including market volatility, the Funds employ certain trading techniques, such
as the use of leverage and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss.

Brevan Howard Master Fund Limited Risk Report
As at close of business on 30 June 2021

• The investment managers have total investment and trading authority over the Funds, and the Funds are dependent upon the services of the investment
managers. The use of a single advisor could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk.
• The Funds are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors with respect to individual investments.
• The Funds are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or other regulated fund products.
• The Funds and their managers are subject to conflicts of interest.
• Changes in interest rates or exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of interests in the Funds.
• A portion of the trades executed for the Funds may take place on markets outside the United States and the United Kingdom.
• The Funds are dependent on the services of certain key personnel, and if certain or all of them were to become unavailable, the Funds may prematurely terminate.
• The Funds’ managers will receive performance-based compensation, which may give such managers an incentive to make riskier investments than they
otherwise would and may offset the Funds’ trading profits.
• The Funds’ incentive and performance-based compensation, fees and expenses may offset their trading and investment profits.
• The Funds may involve complex tax structures and there may be delays in the provision of important tax information to investors.
• Returns generated from an investment in a Fund may not adequately compensate investors for the business and financial risks assumed.
• For Funds investing in cryptocurrencies, via a fund or directly, those cryptocurrencies may experience high daily price volatility potentially resulting in significant
losses, as well as the following specific risks for crypto-market participations: valuation and liquidity challenges when exiting in periods of stress; cybersecurity
events or the loss of the unique private keys needed to access/transfer cryptocurrencies with both risking irreversible losses; the opaque underlying/spot market
posing asset verification challenges, and, the evolving regulatory landscape potentially introducing uncertainty affecting prices or usage of cryptocurrencies.
• The Funds may make investments in securities of issuers in emerging markets. Investment in emerging markets involves particular risks, such as less strict
market regulation, increased likelihood of severe inflation, unstable currencies, war, expropriation of property, limitations on foreign investments, increased market
volatility, less favourable or unstable tax provisions, illiquid markets and social and political upheaval.
The above summary risk factors do not purport to be a complete description of the relevant risks of an investment in the Funds and therefore reference should be
had to the prospectus or offering documents of the Funds and related offering documentation for a more detailed description of these and other relevant risks prior
to making any investment.
